HMS Daring Quilt

Hello all

I have been away quite a lot scuba diving. :-)) Just got back from a week in
the Maldives with Sue (who didn't dive - just chilled out on the small
cruiser).

Anyway! Just to let the few of you who remember me that I am coming to the
competion of my HMS Daring Quilt. Going to need stretching soon. After I
binned my first effort I became a little discouraged. But here we are
gettiing ever closer to completion on my second try. My target is the
Selsey, Sussex, UK quilt show in August this year.

Hopefully you can view my efforts so far at:

WOWWWWW!!! That is just plain FANTASTIC!!! You really did a great job on
that- love the water, too. What a great fabric you found for that-
ummmmm... I'm guessing that's a fabric and not pieced or appliqued???

Welcome back, Eddie! Oh my -- your HMS Daring is amazing! I'd almost
swear that ship was coming at me. G Best of luck at the show -- your
quilt is sure to be a hit.

Thanks Leslie

Yes it is a fabric. Now I have to put a bow wave and wake on to give the
ship a little speed. Then the final commissioning will be the adding of the
ship's pennant number after stretching and quilting.

I'm seasick just from looking at the water. Forget the details...I kinda
'see' that they're there but I' not about to get up and get the magnifying
glass just to double check.
is there a way to make the pic larger? Double click or anything like that?
Are the heli blades fabric or embroidery? That's the kind of 'stuff' I can't
tell for sure.

were out checking sights for the next one. ...Sights Seen Whilst
Scubaing--bottom of boat and on from there : )

Rotor blades are embroidered on.

Sorry I cannot say if you can click to enlarge on Flickr or not.

You can see it in more detail if you choose "view all sizes" and then
"original". Here is a link to the big version:

Eddie that is breathtaking! It's marvellous. Well done indeed. I was
actually telling someone about your battleship quilts this very morning!
(My Mum always said I was psychic g)
Hope there isn't too much more to do on it. The fabrics are
outstanding. Can you tell I really, really like it!

Is Sue going to Malvern this year?

Wow, that looks wonderful! I like the way the tilt gives the illusion of
speed. How do you plan to quilt it? Thanks for the view.

In between where it says HMS Daring and the picture there is a little
(very little!) magnifying sign that says All Sizes.

Its the Large size you want (original is enormous.

Well done Eddie - its looking very impressive.
